Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Landscape images in portrait screensaver look very ugly so I have aves set to display only portrait images, gifs and videos.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be nice if I can allow some landscape content as long as aves only plays them on landscape mode.

  • Allowing selecting different tags for different screen orientations (portrait/landscape) would be a simple and effective fix. We can work this out by simply applying tags.
  • Alternatively, having those special effects screensavers with fancy animations such as poloroid animation can help landscape images from looking bad on a portrait orientation.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Turn on/off fit screen still looks very awkward.

Additional context
None.

I won't implement your first suggestion, but I'm curious about the second one.

having those special effects screensavers with fancy animations such as poloroid animation can help landscape images from looking bad on a portrait orientation.

Do you have an example of an app doing that? Or better, could you provide a screen recording showing the effect you find effective?

Would really be cool if the first one were possible imho.
btw sure, a foss example would be xscreensaver's Photo pile. See screenshots on the project's site here. It's just a photo album animation, nothing special ig. Basically, screensaver won't have to awkwardly stretch for portrait and landscape mode.
E: yt video of the same from the project website.
